I can´t wait until I get to Wednesday in telling you this! The familia Narducci´s getting baptized! The kids have dates for the 16 of November,
but Eve, the mom, needs to wait until she gets married to Franko, the
dad. They were going to get married in August, and for some reason they
didn't, but now they´re thinking the 29th of November
so she can be baptized the 30th! She was really sad yesterday in our
lesson because she just kept saying, "I want to be baptized too!" It
was amazing and I´m so happy. On top of that, two other investigators
accepted baptismal dates. They are both old and I´m not 100% sure they
understood why they needed to be baptized, so it´s going to take a
little more work. Also, I think the man, Estevan, is in love with me.
So we also have to make sure he didn´t just accept a date for that
either. Every time I teach something, he interrupts me and asks me a
random question about my life. huh. But please pray for all of them,
Eve, Franko, Lucas, Nazarena, Maximo, Dominga, and Estevan.
So we also had exchanges this week with the asistentas. I ended up
going to Funes and I was with Hermana Aragon from Mexico. I got to
teach English class so that was pretty fun. I also got pooped on by a
bird and got a bloody nose in the bus. That was not so fun but an
adventure!
Yesterday we had stake conference in Rosario so none of our
investigators came. It´s hard for everyone to go to Rosario. The buses
aren't reliable and expensive and almost no one has cars. But they´ll
come next week. It was voting day in Argentina so we ended up waiting
for the bus for 2 hours and getting to the conference 45 minutes late.
A trial of my patience. But we got there in time to hear hermana
giuliani and presidente giuliani speak. Afterwards, we went up to talk
to them. President basically told us that one of us is going to be
transfered. I´m praying that I can stay in Arroyo Seco a little longer,
but if I need to go I´ll go knowing that Arroyo Seco´s in good hands
and I did all I could do.
I seriously love Arroyo Seco. I´ve been here longer than any other
area and it´s only been 11 weeks! I love the members, I love the less
actives, I love the investigators, and I love everyone else too. I love
this work and I know it´s true. Everything we share as missionaries.
I´ve seen the lives of people change as they recognize the truthfulness
of our message. And I´m so grateful to be a representative of Jesus
Christ. 8 months, yikes, but I still have 10 more!
